PACKING for a holiday isn't always the easiest of tasks.
Finding your passport, checking the weather and remembering the travel adapter - let alone deciding what to wear for a whole week - takes a lot of planning.

For my long weekend away in Marrakesh with only hand-luggage, I'm going for warm, rustic colours and long, loose layers, topped off with a big, bold sunhat to hit the medina.
My go-to in the heat is always linen.
These striped trousers from Next, teamed with the tie-back top, are perfect for keeping cool when the temperature soars.
I also love adding texture to my summer looks: viral cornelli detailing on an evening co-ord, a mother-of pearl embellished clutch and resin multicoloured earrings can be mixed and matched, and will take your daytime looks through to evening.
Oh, and don't forget a neck scarf - wear it with everything from your bikini to your floaty summer frock.

I love matching my wardrobe to my surroundings, so planning my holiday outfits always brings me great joy.
Jetting off to the sandy beaches and jungles of Sri Lanka means I'm going for tropical swimwear, graphic T-shirts, and earthy tones to match my exotic surroundings.
Loose trousers with elasticated waistbands are a must to be comfortable and flowy, as well as flat sandals to explore in.
Practical items can still be stylish, too - I adore this check bucket hat from John Lewis and super-cool sunglasses from Le Specs.

As we all know, the British seaside can mean rain or sunshine - or even both at the same time - so for my staycation, I'll be covering all bases with light fabrics and layering pieces.
A wind-resistant jacket, a sweatshirt for warmth and of course sandals and shorts are all must-packs.
I try to add pieces that I know I can dress up or dress down and will work for every occasion - be it a blustery beach day or a promenade stroll with ice cream in hand - and this lovely lot just does that.

I'm hoping to get away on a city break to Paris this summer.
I've visited the city a few times before, and one thing's for sure, the French have great style, so my outfit game needs to be strong.
For my trip to the French capital, I'll be channeling the Emily in Paris aesthetic (of course!) with colourful stripes and luxe bouclé - though I draw the line at a beret...
Since I'll likely be travelling with just hand luggage, I've picked a selection of versatile pieces that can be easily mixed and matched.

Repair Shop host Jay Blades charged with two counts of rape and faces court next week a year after quitting hit BBC show
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) REPAIR Shop star Jay Blades has been charged with two counts of rape. Police confirmed the allegations against the 55-year-old dad of three from Shropshire. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Jay Blades has been charged with two counts of rape Credit: BBC 4 Police confirmed the rape allegations against the 55-year-old Repair Shop star and father of three Credit: BBC Blades fronted the hit BBC show for seven years before stepping back last year. King Charles appeared alongside him on a special episode in 2022. West Mercia Police confirmed charges against the dad of three, with a magistrates' court date set for next Wednesday. A spokesperson said: 'Jason Blades, 55, of Claverley in Shropshire, has been charged with two counts of rape. "He is due to appear at Telford magistrates' court on 13 August 2025.' Blades was awarded an MBE in 2022 for services to craft while King Charles appeared on the Repair Shop the same year. The TV star is currently awaiting trial on a separate charge of controlling and coercive behaviour against estranged wife Lisa-Marie Zbozen, which he has denied. Blades was arrested in May 2024 - on the same day fitness instructor Lisa announced her decision to end their 18-month marriage. In September Blades was charged. His actions allegedly caused Lisa 'to fear, on at least two occasions, that violence will be used against her'. The presenter pleaded not guilty to the charge — which relates to the period between January 1, 2023 and September 12, 2024 — at a court hearing last October. He is due to attend Worcester crown court today for a pre-trial review regarding the charge. Blades, who married Lisa in an intimate ceremony in Barbados in November 2022, took a break from filming following his arrest. Sources said the decision was also linked to the death of his uncle Richard Braithwaite, 72, in North London in March. A neighbour has been charged with murder. Blades was also dropped from The Repair Shop's live show, Secrets From The Barn, and quietly removed from promotional material. His Repair Shop co-star, horologist Steve Fletcher, revealed in March he had visited Blades while on a break from the live tour. Steve shared a photograph of himself with Blades on Instagram with the caption: 'In a break from our 'Secrets From the Barn' Tour, I popped in to see Jay the other day for a cup of tea and a lovely chat. 'It was great to catch up. Hope to see him again soon.' The BBC later replaced Blades with Roman Kemp for the Christmas special of the popular series. Blades also resigned as chancellor of Buckinghamshire New University 'with immediate effect' following the initial charge. It said: 'We thank Jay for his loyal service to the university and will be making no further comment.' As well as fronting The Repair Shop since 2017, Blades also hosted BBC shows including Money For Nothing and Jay Blades' Home Fix. He also appeared as a contestant on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special and fronted a special BBC documentary, Jay Blades: Learning to Read at 51. 4 King Charles appeared alongside Blades on a special episode in 2022 Credit: BBC/Ricochet/Ian West

Six savvy tips to keep your make-up looking hot in the heat
Plus save big on the Bestway BounceJam Bouncer for the kids SUN SAVERS Six savvy tips to keep your make-up looking hot in the heat Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IS your face giving away the fact you're feeling the heat? If your make-up is starting to slide in the warmth, ditch the drip with these genius budget beauty tricks. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up COOL OFF: If you wake up with a puffy face, reduce swelling by plunging it into a bowl full of ice cubes for 10-second bursts. Or if only your peepers are affected, wrap an ice cube in a make-up cloth and hold it against your under-eye for a few seconds. PRIMER POWER: For a lighter holiday look, just use a great primer and concealer instead of foundation. Once you have prepped skin with your moisturiser and SPF, wait five minutes before applying your primer. Poundland has the Makeup Gallery Mattifying Primer infused with niacinamide and vitamin B5, for £3.50. COVER UP: For a BB cream-like coverage, go for a 50/50 blend of moisturiser and foundation, or for lighter coverage on holiday, mix two parts moisturiser with one part foundation. EYE OPENER: To avoid eye infections, replace your mascara every three months. However, in warm weather, it can dry out much quicker than that. To soften, make sure the lid is screwed on tightly then submerge the tube in a mug of warm water for a few minutes. You can also try adding one or two drops of saline contact lens solution to the tube directly, seal and shake. DOUBLE UP: Save precious space in your holiday make-up bag with multi-use items like the Collection Lip & Cheek Stain, £3.99, Boots. An eyebrow pencil can also be used to lightly line lips, just blend it over your pout with your finger and add lip gloss. For a dewy summer glow, lip balm is your best friend. Use it to on lips, cheek bones and lashes and brows to define and slick. READY, SET, GO: A setting spray is a great way to seal your make-up so it lasts all day long. The Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, £32, is a really good option, but the new MCo Beauty Miracle Flawless Setting Spray is a brilliant dupe at a more pocket-friendly £10, from Superdrug. I've found the ultimate setting spray that will keep you flawless even in the pouring rain - and it's currently on sale at Superdrug All prices on page correct at time of going to press.
